HSK and HSKK

The HSK is a globally run standardised test of Chinese language proficiency for non-native speakers. Whether you are seeking to ensure eligibility for scholarships to study in China or gain an advantage in the job market or a related academic field, an HSK pass will serve you well. But, of course, many learners also find an exam to be an excellent source of motivation!

Working with the Chinese Testing Centre (CTI), we are delighted to announce that our Institute will continue to offer interested candidates the opportunity to sit HSK Exams in 2026. All HSK exams conducted at the Institute are in-person only.

The next exam will take place on Sunday, 13th December. 

Starting with this exam, we will implement HSK 3.0. The exam difficulty and question types will be adjusted. In addition, starting in 2027, the speaking test will be mandatory for each level. Please visit the official Chinese Tests Centre website HERE for full details.
